Knec Examiners Pay 2023; Shocker for 2023 KCSE, KCPE and KPSEA Knec Examiners, Supervisors and Invigilators as Professor Njuguna Ndung’u Reveals This
The 2023 Knec Payment Schedule for KCSE examiners will definitely get disrupted following the shocking revelation by Professor Njuguna Ndung’u who drove the last nail to the coffin after saying that the government is very broke to an extent of halting major development projects. This revelation spells doom for teachers who manned and marked KCSE national tests since the Council relies on money remitted from the exchequer to settle the examiners’ outstanding balances. The Knec payment rates for examiners 2023/2024 are as follows;

A few weeks ago, the ex-chequer had delayed the disbursement of Constituency Development Funds CDF forcing the honourable members of parliament to walk out of an induction meeting.
Members of Parliament on Monday, January 23 stormed out of an induction retreat demanding release of National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF).
The lawmakers were attending a week-long induction workshop in Mombasa at Pride Inn Paradise Beach Resort, Convention Centre and Spa.
They claimed the delays in the release of CFD funds put them in a fix considering schools were opening at a time when their kitty had nothing to offer needy students.
“You cannot come to Mombasa to teach parliamentarians how to be parliamentarians. We can’t come here for the induction without [CDF]. As we speak today, all students in the constituencies are in the MPs’ homes; they are waiting for money, yet we come here to be given chips and sausages,” said Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga.
Yatta MP Basil Ngui, demanded the funds be released before the induction could begin. He added that education supersedes everything.
The walk-out bore fruit since the government released funds meant for CDF.
Fresh Twist as Government Reveals This About the Payment of 2022/2023 Knec Invigilators, Supervisors and Examiners
Teachers who worked on last year’s exams and evaluations may be allowed to stay longer without being paid by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
A total of 28,408 teachers were engaged as center managers, 28,727 as supervisors, 74,990 as invigilators, and 5,647 as examiners in the 2022 exams and assessments.
The KPSEA, KCPE, and KCSE results have already been released. However, while teachers await payment from Knec, facts have emerged showing that things are not looking looking up on the government’s side, which is experiencing a financial hitch.
The government is struggling to raise revenue and satisfy its financial obligations, with money demand appearing to outnumber expenditure.
The most recent indicator is a Sh30.2 billion overdraft facility they chose from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), indicating a desperate need for funds.
Professor Ndung’u revealed yesterday that the government is broke and suffering with limited resources, warning that counties will now have to wait even longer for sharing revenue allocation.
According to sources, the government has been obliged to halt various projects and other services due to a cash shortage.
Prof. Ndung’u, speaking on the sidelines of a Senate induction training in Mombasa, said the Treasury is now financially stressed and cannot end the protracted deadlock with governors that has paralyzed most devolved units.
“We don’t have money, we have shortage of resources, we ask them to wait because we are in a financial hole, that is why we want to tell them to wait as a solution is being found,” said Ndung’u.
The Treasury Secretary advised government departments, particularly county governments, to be patient while waiting for allocations.
Though Knec has not published a comment on the problem of paying its hired professionals, internal sources have urged teachers to ready themselves for challenging times because there is now no money.
